About Trinidad and Tobago

Satellite view is showing the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago in the southern Caribbean, a nation northeast of Venezuela and south of Grenada.

Both islands were discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1498. Trinidad was settled by Spanish in 1577 and Tobago was settled by the English in 1616. The two islands were joined politically as a British colony in 1888. From 1958 to 1962 they were part of the short-lived West Indies Federation, together with Barbados and Jamaica and other former colonies of the United Kingdom. Trinidad and Tobago became independent in 1962.

With an area of 5,130 km², the island nation is about twice the size of Luxembourg or slightly smaller than the U.S. state of Delaware. Trinidad's landscape offers mostly plains with some hills and low mountains in north, within the Aripo Massif with the nations highest point, El Cerro del Aripo with 940 m. Tobago island is of volcanic origin and primarily hilly.
